The Houston Astros refused to quit in Game 2 of the World Series, repeatedly rallying and scoring six runs from the eighth inning forward in a wild, 7-6 extra-innings victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers that evened the World Series at one game apiece.
The heroes were plentiful for the Astros, with Marwin Gonzalez homering to tie the game in the 9th, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa hitting solo home runs in the 10th to put Houston ahead briefly, and George Springer hitting a two-run homer in the 11th that put them on top to stay.
The Dodgers counterpunched with a dramatic 10th inning in which Yasiel Puig homered and Kike Hernandez briefly tied things with a single, and in the bottom of the 11th they got a surprising home run from Charlie Culberson, but that was all they could muster in a game that stretched on for more than four hours.
